Residents move in to their home without the need for a penny in deposit, and rent before being offered the chance to buy. They rent for a minimum period of 5 years, paying rent to a registered provider or housing association. All the repair costs for the home is included in the rent.
When they decide to buy the home they are living in, they are gifted 10% of the sale price from Rentplus to put towards their deposit.

Applicants must be working and have aspirations to buy their own home within a 5, 10, 15 or 20 year period. As agreed with the local authorities, priority will be given to those who can demonstrate a local connection to the area.
A financial assessment will be carried out before ascertaining whether an applicant will be appropriate for a 5, 10, 15 or 20 year purchase plan. One of the benefits to Rentplus is that poor historic credit is by no means a barrier to acceptance as tenants have a minimum of five years to be able to rebuild their credit history.
